Schools and the Labor Market

Vocational education and training should lead to qualifications that have a high level of relevance in the (inter)national labor market. In practice is however more easy said than done! In many countries there is still a wide gap between the needs of the labor market and the skills and knowledge of graduates from VET institutes. CBE has over the years done extensive research and policy development for governments and school to narrow the gap. With this knowledge we have created a tool kit of policy instruments with various methods en systems to improve the relevance of VET education for the world of work by strengthening the innovative capacity of educational institutions.
